UniversalAdmin
The free, all-in-one admin plugin for Paper. Everything your staff team needs - moderation, reports, staff mode, player tools, worlds, maintenance, performance and a complete audit log - in clean in-game menus and commands, on one server or a whole Velocity/BungeeCord network. No dependencies, no premium version, open source (GPL).
Runs on Paper and Purpur 1.21.7 - 1.21.11 and 26.1.1 - 26.3 - one jar for all of them, and new Minecraft versions are tested and added automatically.
✨ Highlights
- One menu for everything - type
/adminand click through players, moderation, reports, chat, server, worlds, whitelist, performance, audit log and settings. Where you type something, one form asks for everything at once - text fields, sliders, checkboxes. - Commands too -
/ban Steve 7d griefing,/mute,/warn,/history,/vanish,/invsee,/heal,/gm... with tab completion. Already use EssentialsX? Turn off any shortcut you want to keep there. - Every action is logged - who banned whom, who changed which gamerule, who opened whose inventory. Searchable in-game.
- Fine-grained permissions - give helpers kick and mute, but not ban. LuckPerms role templates included.
- Safe - confirmations for dangerous actions, no double clicks, player input can't inject formatting, an invalid config never crashes the server.
- Network-ready - behind Velocity or BungeeCord, see every server and player in one menu, teleport across servers, and ban once for the whole network.
- No dependencies - SQLite out of the box, MySQL/MariaDB optional.
- English & German - every text editable.
🌐 Networks (Velocity / BungeeCord)
Install UniversalAdmin on every server, give them one MySQL/MariaDB database
and set network.enabled: true:
- a Network menu with every server - also those without UniversalAdmin - their players, TPS and version;
- the player menu lists every player on every server, filtered or sorted by server; a player's profile sends them anywhere or brings them to you;
/admin find Steve- "Steve is on survival";/admin tp Stevetakes you to Steve's server, right next to him;/admin tphere,/admin send,/admin connect;- bans, mutes, warnings, kicks and freezes apply on every server at once;
- staff chat, staff notifications, report alerts and
/admin alertacross all servers, tagged with the server name; - maintenance and a whitelist for one server or the whole network;
- vanished staff stay hidden in every list and count, also when switching servers;
- one audit log for the whole network.
Optional: the UniversalAdmin Velocity or BungeeCord plugin (the
-velocity and -bungee versions on this page) keeps banned players out at
the proxy, before they reach any server - and closes the proxy during
network maintenance or to players not on the network whitelist. Network guide.
🔁 Switching from another plugin?
/admin import brings your bans, mutes, warnings and kicks over from
LiteBans, AdvancedBan, the vanilla ban lists and EssentialsX -
with reasons, dates and what is still in force. Preview first, nothing is
lost. Import guide.
🛡️ Moderation
Kick, ban, temp-ban, IP-ban, mute, temp-mute, warn and freeze - with reason
and duration presets, a punish form, full history (/history),
current status (/checkban) and team notifications for every
punishment. Punishment templates escalate on their own: /punish Steve spam
warns the first time, mutes for an hour the second time, and so on.
With Simple Voice Chat, a mute silences a player in the chat, in the voice
chat or both (/chatmute, /voicemute).
Optional alt detection shows accounts that connect from the same
address - privacy-friendly: only keyed hashes are stored, and only if you
switch it on.
Staff notes let your team leave private notes about players.
📣 Reports
Players type /report <player> <reason>; staff get an instant, clickable
alert. The reports GUI shows open reports - claim, resolve or reject them,
teleport to the player or to where the report was made. Built-in spam
protection.
🕵️ Staff tools
Vanish, godmode, no-collision and a staff mode with its own toolbar:
player inspector, freeze stick, live inventory & ender chest inspectors,
teleport picker - and your own inventory comes back even after a crash.
Staff chat with /sc or a # in front of your message.
👤 Players
Browse online and offline players - in a network every player on every server - search, open profiles with play time and location, heal, feed, fly, gamemode, speed (with sliders), effects, teleports - and edit inventories and ender chests live.
🌍 Server & worlds
Dashboard, broadcasts (chat, title, action bar), maintenance mode with an allow-list, shutdown/restart with countdown. Per-world time, weather, difficulty, spawn, world border and a full gamerule editor. Chat lock, slow mode and clear chat.
📋 Whitelist
Reasons, notes and temporary access that expires by itself - also for players who have never joined. In a network, also one whitelist for all servers at once.
📈 Performance
TPS, MSPT and memory at a glance (/lag), per-world stats, an entity
overview and staff alerts. The entity clear never touches players, villagers,
item frames or other protected entities - always with preview and
confirmation.
⚙️ Settings in-game
Change any setting from a menu - validated, applied right away, saved to
config.yml with your comments intact.
🧩 Extensions
Other plugins can add modules to UniversalAdmin: commands, menu pages, profile buttons, settings, database tables - all audited and permissioned like the built-ins. The official extensions - all in the UniversalAdmin collection:
- UniversalAdmin Discord - admin actions in Discord, and as a bot:
two-way staff chat,
/ban,/mute,/historyfrom Discord, reports with Claim / Resolve / Reject buttons. - UniversalAdmin Placeholders - PlaceholderAPI placeholders such as
%universaladmin_online%(without vanished players),%universaladmin_muted%and%universaladmin_open_reports%. - UniversalAdmin Voice Chat - Simple Voice Chat: chat, voice or full mutes, vanished staff stay silent, voice status on the profile and a staff voice group.
Developers: see the extension guide.

plugins/, restart. - Type

All commands: command reference · Full docs: GitHub
📊 Anonymous statistics
UniversalAdmin sends a small anonymous heartbeat every 30 minutes so we know
how many servers use it: a random installation id, the UniversalAdmin,
Minecraft and Java version, and the online/maximum player count. Never
sent: IPs, server names, player names or UUIDs, chat, commands, world data,
other plugins or hardware identifiers. The id is random and derived from
nothing. Turn it off with telemetry.enabled: false in config.yml - then
no request is made at all.
Exactly what is sent.
